Chapter 164: Searching for Demons in the Ground
"Huh? Uncle Ye, as soon as the official left, we went over so blatantly, they won't kill us again, right? I asked.
"No, they're busy rescuing patients now, and they don't know where we're going, and the most dangerous places are the safest. Besides, there is a way to get out anyway, what are you afraid of. He glanced at Xiao Shirong.
Xiao Shirong reluctantly went down to the station with us, and looked at us very disdainfully: "If you want to go down, I will go to make up for sleep." He walked back to the house.
Go down? Where to go? I didn't understand what he meant, Ye Lin'an had already taken two shovels from the tool pile, ignored Xiao Shirong, and threw one to me.
"Uncle Ye, what are we doing here?"
"Come with me and dig out the entrance to the dungeon."
The dungeon? And the dungeon? Could it be that Xiao Shirong's is also this? They all know about it, but I don't know anything by myself.
"The dungeon? Then you mean, the demonic energy is emitted from the underground palace? "Combined with the previous events, I also guessed a point or two.
Ye Lin'an nodded, and walked towards the middle of the gold and stone construction site with a shovel. I followed him closely, and seeing his determined appearance, I must have determined where the entrance to the Lin Palace was after some observation.
"Why can you all see the demonic energy and I can't?" I asked Ye Lin'an.
He smiled lightly: "Well, there is a certain factor first, and there is also a later exercise." Maybe you've been trained to perceive these too. β
The construction site is not big, and we have already arrived in the middle of the construction site in a few steps, Ye Linan erected a shovel, knocked a few times on the soil on the ground and some exposed floor tiles, pointed to a piece of land, and looked up at me: "Come, this is it, dig it." β
Although I am much younger than Ye Lin'an, but in terms of physical strength, he is not worse than me at all, maybe he has been running around all year round, picking up a shovel and flying up and down, it sounds ugly like a mouse burrowing.
This method of excavating the earth, which does not pay attention to the stratum under the gold and stone, is very efficient, and soon our shovels have hit the hard surface. We stopped and looked at each other, and we both understood what it meantβarrived.
After a few more shovels, we cleared a layer of soil from it, revealing a few clear slate surfaces. We continued to work hard and finally cleared out a three-meter square stone slab.
This board does not look like a floor tile, it is much larger than other floor tiles, and even the appearance is not a bare brick surface, but is carved with strange patterns. But these symmetrical lines make me feel very familiar, and I always feel like I've seen them somewhere.
But in the face of such a behemoth, even if it is really a dungeon underneath, we can't get into it so easily.
"Uncle Ye, what are we going to do next?" I asked Ye Lin'an.
"Pry it open."
"You're not kidding, are you?" I glanced at him and made sure he didn't have a smile on his face.
"Don't look at it big, prying it is not a big problem, as long as you find the point of change of the bar."
Looking at him, I felt a drum in my heart again: "Eh, do we have to open it?" β
"Don't be afraid, fear in this world won't solve anything. It's better for us to open it than for the Goldstone team to open it defenselessly. And I don't know why the demon qi has changed just now, if there is a problem with the seal of the monster inside, we must solve it in advance. β
"Have you been responsible for this kind of thing?"
"Hehe, not really, some things are easy to deal with, and some things are tricky for other people. We are also for the people here. β
Ye Lin'an began to dig a hole in the corner of the big stone slab, obviously he wanted to make a lever there. I went to help him and loosened the joints around the slate and the joints in the earth, so that there was a certain amount of friction.
When he had dug a pit large enough to hold a shovel against the slate, I found a few bricks to put together and became a hard fulcrum. In this way, if we exert force here, there will be only three consequences - the slate will not move, the handle of the shovel will break, or we will succeed.
"One, two, three!" Counting to three, we worked together, and the slate did not move. After being stiff for about a minute, I really couldn't support it, so I let Ye Lin'an let go and rest together.
"No, Uncle Ye, the strength of the two of us is completely insufficient."
"Don't worry, try again later, maybe it's useless.
He began to adjust the position of the floor tiles, re-tapping the shovel into the slate.
After about five minutes, I stopped panting, Ye Lin'an: "Come on, try again." β
Once again, we pressed against the end of the shovel, and Ye Lin'an asked me to get a little closer to the end, and then: "One, two, three!" β
As soon as the three words came out, I suddenly exerted force, and a scene that made me stunned happened, this huge stone slab of nearly ten square meters actually flew into the air, and the two of us fell backwards on the Lin because of too much force.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Lin'an screamed, and he had already pushed me out of the position where I was sitting on the ground for several meters.
As soon as I stopped rolling, I heard a loud "bang", and I didn't need to ask to know that it was a huge stone slab that had hit Lin.
Not good, Uncle Ye!
I hurriedly looked back, and luckily, he reacted much faster than I did, and had already dodged the drop.
My heart throbbed, I couldn't understand why this slate flew like this? It is not possible for our forces to do it, just like that, like a cannon battle with fire.
"Uncle Ye, are you okay?" I asked Ye Lin'an loudly.
He got up from the ground, wiped the ashes from his face, and walked over and pulled me up from the ground: "I didn't expect the demonic aura to be so strong here, it was really dangerous just now." β
"Are you, the demon spirit just put the slate on it?"
He didn't answer, I just acquiesced. After a few seconds, a sentence came: "I didn't expect such a stone slab to be able to seal the demonic energy, if it weren't for the age, I'm afraid I might not be able to find an abnormality on the surface." β
At this time, Xiao Shirong's voice came from behind him: "The surname is Ye, let you go, you won't go, this time it's a big trouble, right?" How did this demonic end up with you? β
Ye Lin'an smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Then I'll go down and destroy it." β
I don't know if he can't get over it, but from Xiao Shirong's words, it sounds like this thing is definitely not easy to deal with, and he hurriedly said to Ye Lin'an: "Uncle Ye, you calm down, there's no need to be tough." β
He smiled and shook his head: "It's not like I've never seen a demonic aura more powerful than this." Then he went inside.
I hurriedly followed him to go in. Xiao Shirong shouted from behind: "Hey, are you following him in to find death?" β
Ye Lin'an glanced back at him: "If you're afraid of death, don't come in, if you don't come in, help us let go of the wind above, and we'll come out in a while." β
I thought to myself, how big can a man-made underground palace be, and I can't get out after two steps? When you encounter something that you can't deal with, you should still have time to run out. Moreover, Ye Lin'an is my father's friend, not old, and he is also nearly middle-aged, no matter what, I really don't feel at ease if I let him go on an adventure alone.
Ye Lin'an didn't know where to find an oil lamp to illuminate the stairs in the Lin Palace. I followed and walked in. Ye Linan turned around and smiled at me: "You have good eyes, there is something I can't see, you remind me." β
I nodded: "No problem, here's the thing." All hearts, no matter what happens inside, the two of us have to come out safely together. β
Ye Lin'an nodded, and walked towards the bottom of the stairs. I followed him, and when I entered the stairs, I realized that the walls were all painted with the symbols of the slate in ink or paint. Perhaps, this is what is used to suppress demonic energy, right? Someone must have imprisoned the youkai in this place before.
"Damn, I know!" I almost screamed. A few clues came together, and I could already remember what made it sound so familiar. In my cognitive world, there are only a few schools that have the ability to deal with monsters. I'm familiar with it, and I'm counting it out. I must have seen this symbol, either in the Ma Dao family or in Yin Yang Town, but I didn't understand its function at the time, but I didn't really take it seriously, so I only remembered the symbol, but I couldn't remember where I saw it.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lin'an asked me.
"This symbol belongs to the Yin and Yang family! I've been with them before, I've seen them. "I told Ye Lin'an.
"It's them again..."
"Presumably, the demonic aura here is emitted by the monsters they sealed here."
"Don't worry, they can handle it, and so can we."
I nodded, but I didn't know who was more powerful. Anyway, I've seen the skills of the Ma Dao people with my own eyes. Dealing with monsters, I still think his set of bells and whistles is more reliable.
When we arrived at the Yin Yang house, the two of us didn't have much good, so Ye Lin'an turned around and walked down the stairs.
But I feel a few points at ease in my heart, maybe the tricky things here have been dealt with by the Yin and Yang family who came first, we can pick up the cheap and deal with the school
As I got deeper, I felt that this dungeon might be a little different from what I had imagined, this depth had exceeded the depth that I thought I could easily go up and down, and when I looked back, it was at least seven or eight stories high, and the entrance was almost invisible, and it seemed that I had not yet been able to reach the end in front of me. And next to it is no longer the brick on top, but a huge stone weighing one or two tons.
I have a hunch that the deeper the staircase, the bigger the dungeon, because the amount of work is greater. What kind of secrets are hidden in this, and such a big underground palace is needed?
